Najaf, please stop highjacking threads. But to answer your
question, NVDA 2019.1 apparently still has some issues that are
holding it back, though a beta should hopefully be out in the
coming days.

First, do you, Mohammed know what hijacking threads
is? We don't know. It is when you use an existing thread to
introduce a new and unrelated subject. Start a completely new
thread. Don't change the subject line and then begin a new thread using
the old thread. Code remains which makes e-mail programs see it as a
continuation of the old thread under some conditions. It also causes the
new thread to appear as the old thread in the list archives.
If you don't know how to start a completely new
thread, ask here and say what e-mail program you are using and people will be
happy to tell you how to do this. But, as has been said, don't continue to
hijack threads.

Sorry. It seemed like Najaf had been posting the question several
times as replies to different threads, perhaps I was getting the
idea wrong.

Er, it was not Mohammed who hijacked the thread. He replied to the question

in the thread previously hijacked by Najaf, and also asked Najaf not to hijack threads in future. He also helpfully changed the subject line to reflect the question asked in the hijack. Regards, Antony

I'm sorry I named the wrong person. But
perhaps my explanation will help Najaf
understand what is being discussed. It can't be assumed that people know
what such terms mean, nor can it be assumed that people know how to do what is
being asked, since there are people ranging from those with no previous
experience with e-mail lists to years of knowledge and
experience.

But just for clarification, does that mean my change to the
subject line did not actually create a new thread? I'm using
Thunderbird, so if that did happen I'd like to know how I can
start a new thread and prevent this from happening again.

That is correct - changing the subject line does not create a new thread. It

simply continues the existing thread with a different subject. To create a new thread, you must create a new email, to the list address (which is NVDA@NVDA.Groups.IO in this case), with whatever subject line you require for the new thread. As a general rule, using "reply" will always continue a thread, never create a new one, because the information about which thread you are replying to is carried across into the headers of your reply. Regards, Antony.
